First-timers are always amazed at all of the Lake Tahoe Activities. When it comes to a fun getaway, Lake Tahoe has pretty much something for everyone. If you are a fisherman, you can get your fix without sacrificing the entire day and still stay in the family’s good graces. There are few places in this world where you can pull this off.
Lake Tahoe is a 22-mile long lake with the California and Nevada border running the length if it from North to South. In generalities, the North end of the lake is for people wanting a more laid back experience enjoying the serenity of the Sierra wilderness.
South Lake Tahoe is where the wilderness meets cosmopolitan. On the Nevada side of South Lake Tahoe, you have the Casinos, high-end Hotels, bars, clubs and everything that goes with it. On the California side, you have a thriving town that is focused more on outdoor adventures and activities.
Can you imagine a day that starts off with a:
– Guided Fishing Charter going after trophy lake trout.
– Followed by an afternoon mountain bike ride with your kids and family through the area’s pristine forests.
– Dinner at an amazing restaurant.
– Then wrap up the evening at a casino or dance club with your special someone?
It may sound impossible, but this is a typical day for many visiting South Lake Tahoe. The trick is to have your time and activities coordinated beforehand for such a Ferris Bueller adventure to occur.
Lake Tahoe Fishing
Lake Tahoe is famous for its Trophy Lake Trout. Fish in the 10-pound range are very common, fish over 20 pounds are frequent, and fish at 30 pounds are not unheard of. The nice thing is that you don’t have to drive for hours to get to the marina and then motor out for maybe a few hours to get to the fishing grounds. The South Lake Tahoe marinas are close to anywhere you might stay, and the fish are just a short boat ride away. Remember, Lake Tahoe is only 22 miles in length.
Book one of Lake Tahoe’s full-time fishing charter boats is the best way to ensure a successful adventure. These experienced captains have the knowledge to know where the fish will be and provide you with the right gear to catch them.
